Many people, following the example of their ancestors, believe in various kinds of signs and beliefs. The mystical side of life has always attracted the curious. Superstitions concern numbers, animals and various objects. Mirrors deserve special attention.

Appearing in the 19th century, mirrors excite the imagination of impressionable people. One of the questions that worries them to this day is “Why can’t you look in the mirror when you cry?” What happens if you don't do this?

Justification of fears

In the past, mirrors were associated with the other world. This item was used by fortune tellers and sorcerers. They determined the future in mirrors and used them to communicate with spirits and the dead. According to people who practice magic, this item is energetically strong. After all, beyond it there is a looking glass. This is a mysterious and enigmatic place endowed with special powers.

Therefore, it is assumed that it is unsafe for a crying person to look at his reflection. Such behavior can cause unfavorable changes in a person’s destiny. If everything went well up to this point. Everything worked out well in life and there was no particular reason for concern. What happens after a crying person looks into his reflection? The mirror will capture the reflected image. In the future, a person will have to cry often because of troubles. It is as if he programs his behavior and destiny.

According to other sources, the reason why you should not look in the mirror when you cry lies in the opportunity to cry tears of happiness. Let's say a person expects success in business or love. Looking in the mirror at himself crying, he will lose such happiness. Everything will go wrong. Your loved one will change or leave for someone else.

What to do about it?

Secondly, everyone decides their own destiny, it depends on your actions. To be lucky in life, you need to act, and not wait for someone to come and solve everything. Thirdly, advice for those who really believe in such signs.

Don't look in the mirror when you cry. Constantly wiping your eyes will cause them to turn red. It's best to do this after you've finished crying. Then look in the mirror. It will no longer be dangerous.

There is no scientific basis for why you should not look in the mirror when you cry. Therefore, everyone chooses for themselves what to do.

Why should children not look in the mirror until they are one year old?

A common superstition says that a child should not look in the mirror until he is one year old. Why have people long believed that mirrors are dangerous for babies, and how can you protect your child from negative influences?

Why should babies not look in the mirror until they are one year old?

Small children have very weak energy protection, and the mirror is a powerful energy storage device. A mirror is a portal to the other world and on the other side of the mirror surface there are evil forces that can negatively affect the health of a child who is not yet energetically strong.

There is also a widespread belief among people: young children see what adults cannot see. Looking at himself in the mirror, a child can, in addition to his reflection, see entities living in the Looking Glass.

Sometimes children become so frightened that they may even develop problems with speech and mental development later on.

There is even a sign according to which you cannot even hang photographs of a child around the house until he is one year old.

Where not to hang a mirror

It is not recommended to hang mirrors in the bedroom or private office. A person who is constantly near a mirror becomes weaker, and his health can deteriorate sharply. The reflection begins to gradually take away strength from its counterpart, who is in the world of the living.

An old mirror filled with negative energy can cause serious damage even to strong adults, but what about children? When kids see their reflection in the mirror for the first time, many of them get scared and start crying.

What psychologists say

Child psychologists take a completely opposite point of view. Modern experts believe that the child even needs to be shown his reflection in the mirror. Babies quickly stop being afraid if they begin to understand that their mother is next to them, who is also visible in the reflection.

This helps the baby to self-determine and quickly begin to learn about the world around him.

Of course, everyone decides for themselves what to do. Some believe in omens and follow traditions that have developed over centuries, and some modern parents tend to trust child psychologists more.

A mirror is a unique object that can convey our reflection to us and indicate our strengths and weaknesses. In essence, this is the human “I”. Since ancient times, people considered the mirror to be a very powerful magical object, endowing it with paranormal properties. Allegedly, it is with the help of mirror reflection that one can see and recognize one’s present, past and future.

Mages use this item for their most powerful rituals: removing or inducing damage. In general, in esotericism it is generally accepted that a mirror is a fragile conductor between the present and the other world. One awkward move in front of him and you can bring on a lot of troubles. For example, according to the most well-known signs and superstitions, you should never look in the mirror when you cry.

Since ancient times, people, especially women, have shown their strongest feelings through tears. Intense joy or, conversely, oppressive pain - everything spills out in crying. If a person feels lonely at the moment of sadness, he prefers to find someone with whom he can cry. Your own reflection in the mirror is a good companion in this case. However, according to signs and superstitions, you should never cry in front of a mirror.

It is believed that this can bring tears into a person's life for many years. The fact is that mirrors accumulate human energy very well, preserve it, and then can transform it into something inexplicable, influence a person, or even release entities or poltergeists into the real world. Tears are a good conductor for them.

So why is it still not possible to cry in front of the mirror?

  1. Loneliness can remain in the life of a crying person forever. The mirror will remember the moment of despair and in the future will “mirror” it with redoubled force, bringing tears, grief, and misfortune into life every day.
  2. Problems will begin in the professional sphere. Conflicts with colleagues, superiors and, as a result, loss of work.
  3. Tears and the energy of pain, which the mirror will remember for a long time, can take away mental and physical strength on a daily basis, even if you are already in an excellent mood. Therefore, a sudden illness may be the result of tears shed in front of the mirror.
  4. A person begins to lose his beauty and attractiveness, and with them a rapid aging process will begin. The fact is that the reflective surface remembers not only tears, but also the appearance of the person crying: a grimace of suffering automatically ages a person and makes him unattractive. Therefore, when looking in the mirror the next day, a person can unwittingly try on the image of someone crying. Such daily “masks” will definitely not add beauty.
  5. There are beliefs that if you shed tears in front of a mirror, you can invite terrible misfortune upon yourself. Especially if it is ancient, the information accumulated in it is just asking to break out in the form of entities. They can even take a person's life.

How to neutralize a sign if tears are shed in front of a mirror

There are cases when despair takes over and the mirror still “saw” the person crying. What to do in this case and how to remove the effect of superstitions? There are several ways:

The mirror in front of which tears have been shed can simply be removed, covered with thick cloth and taken outside. It is better not to throw it away uncovered: the person who finds it may unwittingly “take over” your troubles and misfortunes.

You can simply wipe the mirror with a cloth dampened with water and let it dry. Magicians under no circumstances advise wiping it dry - let the negative energy disappear on its own.

If you still feel like crying in front of the mirror, you can do it. But then it is better to talk with your reflection, as with a living interlocutor. Explain the reasons for your sadness - then it is able to take grief into the other world, into the Looking Glass.

It is better to quickly replace tears with a smile and laughter, even fake ones, to portray joy. This is how you can “deceive” the other world.

Another method is suitable only for women - camouflage. After crying in front of the mirror, you need to wash your face, apply beautiful makeup and look at your reflection. This is another way to “deceive” him.

If a tear falls on a reflective surface, it must be wiped off immediately. Otherwise, troubles and troubles will accompany you for a long time.

Other signs about mirrors

Over the centuries, signs and superstitions associated with mirrors have accumulated. Each sign had a certain basis: people noticed what preceded this or that event. Therefore, one should be wary of such superstitions. After all, no one has yet proven that the other world and other entities do not exist.

Here are the main signs about mirrors:

Esotericists under no circumstances advise placing the bed in front of mirrors or mirrored cabinets: it is better to rid the bedroom of reflective surfaces. After all, it is believed that during sleep a person’s soul breaks away from the body and travels. In order not to get through the mirror into another world and not stay there, it is better not to place such “traps” in the bedroom. According to another sign, the essence and forces of evil, which are activated at night, through mirror reflection can suck out the mental and physical strength of the sleeping person, taking away his life energy.

Also a bad omen. In the darkness, instead of your reflection, you can see the devil, who will take your life energy and penetrate into the real world. And whoever looks into it will be overtaken by illness. It is also believed that if you look at your reflection at night, problems, troubles and misfortunes cannot be avoided.

Give a mirror. Such a gift can forever destroy friendship and good relationships between the giver and recipient of the gift.

Look in the mirror for a long time. It’s better not to stare at your reflection - this way you can quickly lose your youth and strength. After all, according to signs, it takes away beauty and attractiveness.

Under no circumstances should you look into a broken mirror. Seven years of misfortune guaranteed. Even if a corner or edge has broken off or the surface has become worn, it is better to get rid of it.

In general, if you believe the signs, a mirror instills a certain fear in a person and forces him to be careful with it. Only a positive attitude will help you get rid of prejudices: smiling, radiating happiness and positivity in front of him is a sure source of charge for the whole day. The mirror will definitely remember your happiness and increase it. Then peace, mutual understanding and joy will settle in the house.

Because you risk crying and drowning your happiness in tears. For example, you achieve what you want. Then a depressive flow “rolls over” you, you shed tears, sitting in front of the mirror... And the next day you notice that your “desired” is slipping away in an unknown direction. It is better to take care of a bright future in advance, without making mistakes and analyzing the reasons for what happened. Do you think this is a superstition? Read on...

What else is better not to cry?

Do not forget that mirror analogs include anything in which people can be reflected (water surface, flashlight, crystal, dishes, monitor, bottles, jewelry, keys, window glass). Take care of items of this type. They should not crack or break!

Why can't you cry in front of the mirror?

Mirrors are conductors of the past, present and future. The mirror is the boundary drawn between the earthly world and the world of the dead. Each of your tears reflected in it can be fatal. That is, you will turn into a witch, devil or vampire.

What happens if a tear falls on the mirror?

If a tear touches the mirror, then you will constantly solve problems and feel pain (mental and physical). Quickly wipe it off the mirror surface, calm down completely, put on a charming make-up and look in the mirror again. If the blues set in again, and tears come from somewhere inside, then you move away from the mirror and wait until you come to your senses.

There is such a sign:

“If you cry in front of the mirror for a minute, you will cry for the rest of your life.”

Whether you believe in such a sign or not is up to you to decide. No one will come and punish you for your “tearful manipulations.” You can’t cry or look in the mirror, if only because the sight is not pleasant. And also because a crying gaze directed at a mirror surface gradually spoils a person’s vision.

In India, girls from an early age are taught to repeat in front of the mirror that they are amazing. Thus, they convince the “double-reflector” of confidence in their superiority. You need to take an example from Indian girls! Why is this necessary? And you conduct an experiment. Look in the mirror every day and write down everything you think and feel. After a week, you will see that your reflection gives you completely contradictory emotions. Either you consider yourself beautiful and pretty, then you think that there is no one more beautiful than you in the whole world. Please note: in a good mood you are delighted with yourself! Does this mean anything to you? Think correctly! Look in the mirror with a smile and in a great mood. This will surely save you from complexes forever.

There is one very unpleasant case known, associated with tears and mirrors. The girl broke up with her boyfriend. She ran across the apartment threshold, sat down on an ottoman and looked into the huge mirror. Tears flowed from her eyes like hail. She couldn't stop, even though she tried. Twenty minutes passed. Arina (that was the name of the crying girl) saw several other reflections through her tears. The mirror reflected people completely unknown to her! Arina was scared, but did not move, because fear simply paralyzed the girl. She watched what would happen next. The shadows in the distant looking glass moved a little, waved their arms and legs, and disappeared. The girl told only her close friend about what happened. He was sure that the others would think of her as crazy. Six days later, the girl could not stand it and told about the “magic” to her grandmother. The dear old lady calmly accepted the news that her granddaughter told her. Valentina Stepanovna assured Arina that these reflections appeared from the past. The girl became scared when she found out that the shadows in the mirror belonged to dead people.
